School Safety Teams
District Mission
The Westwood Regional School District’s School Safety Teams are committed to providing a caring, approachable, and safe environment for all students. The school safety team, comprised of administrators, faculty, parents, and students, establishes high expectations for behavior and respect for all students and staff. We believe that all students have the right to attend a school free of violence, intimidation, and abuse. We value diversity and encourage our students and staff to positively impact the well-being of others and contribute to a thriving school environment.
